18 Accessing the Programmed Functions Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button Identifying Radio Controls You can access various radio functions through one of the following ways: A short or long press of the relevant programmable buttons. Use the Menu Navigation Buttons as follows: 1 To access the menu, press the S button. Press the appropriate Menu Scroll button (Por Q) to access the menu functions. 2 To select a function or enter a sub-menu, press the N button. 3 To go back one menu level, or to return to the previous screen, press the R button. Long press the R button to return to the Home screen. The Menu Navigation Buttons are also available on a keypad microphone (see Using the Keypad on page 72). NOTE: Your radio automatically exits the menu after a period of inactivity and returns to your Home screen. The PTT button on the side of the microphone serves two basic purposes: While a call is in progress, the PTT button allows the radio to transmit to other radios in the call. Press and hold down PTT button to talk. Release the PTT button to listen. PTT Button The microphone is activated when the PTT button is pressed. While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 18). If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On or Off on page 67) or the PTT Sidetone is enabled, wait until the short alert tone ends before talking. During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you will hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond. 6

19 You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an Emergency Call. You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone or the PTT Sidetone by disabling all radio tones and alerts (see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on page 66). Switching Between Conventional Analog and Digital Mode Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital CH+ channel. Use the Channel CH - Rocker to switch between an analog or a digital channel. P3 When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable. Icons for the digital features (such as Messages) reflect this change by appearing grayed out. Disabled features are hidden in the menu. Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio. NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on page 30). Channel Rocker Capacity Plus Capacity Plus is a single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which uses a pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to 254 Groups. This feature allows your radio to efficiently utilize the available number of programmed channels while in Repeater Mode. You can only access channel(s) with Capacity Plus via the Channel Rocker, while features supported in Capacity Plus can be accessed via the menu and/or a programmable button press. Icons of features not applicable to Capacity Plus will not be available in the menu. You will hear a negative indicator tone if you access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a programmable button press. Your radio also has features that are available in both conventional digital mode and Capacity Plus. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information on this system.
